摘要:
Method and apparatus for routing messages in a network includes first filters to provide frequency-based message signals converted from an optically-based signal and mixers adapted to mix the frequency-based message signals with sub-carriers to generate frequency-based sub-carrier modulated message signals. A frequency generator connected to the mixers provides the sub-carriers to the mixers and a combiner connected to the mixers combines the frequency-based sub-carrier modulated message signals. Second filters connected to the combiner receive and group the frequency-based sub-carrier modulated message signals. Optical transmitters connected to second filters optically convert and transmit the frequency-based sub-carrier modulated message signals. The frequency generator generates and applies a particular sub-carrier frequency to one of the mixers according to information contained in the frequency-based message signal. The information is encoded into the frequency-based message signal via a generalized MPLS (GMPLS) label contained in a header portion of the frequency-based message signal.

An optical transport system (OTS) having a plurality of optical transponders (OTs) connected via one or more optical links and adapted to communicate with one another using respective rate-adaptive forward-error-correction (FEC) codes. In one embodiment, the OTS has a rate control unit (RCU) adapted to configure the OTs to dynamically adjust the rates of the FEC codes based on an estimated performance margin for each link between two respective communicating OTs to optimize the overall capacity of the OTS while maintaining an adequate, but not excessive, overall system margin.

摘要:
A multi-channel (e.g. WDM) receiver, in which l PMD compensators are time-shared by n (n>1) communication channels, where 1≦l≦n−1. The receiver implements PMD monitoring to identify channels exhibiting relatively high amounts of PMD. Some or all of the identified channels are then subjected, before decoding, to PMD-reduction processing, while the remaining channels are decoded without such processing. Channel allocation for the processing may be changed dynamically depending on the current amounts of PMD exhibited by various channels. Due to efficient utilization of PMD compensators, multi-channel receivers of the invention are capable of performance comparable to that of the corresponding fully compensated (i.e., having a dedicated PMD compensator for each channel) receivers, but at appreciably lower cost.

Methods and apparatus are described for generating and receiving amplitude and differential-phase encoded signals in which the number of phase states at a given amplitude level is always less than or equal to that at a higher amplitude level and at least two amplitude levels have different numbers of phase states.

摘要:
This disclosure is directed to a system designed for automatic de-clogging a rain gutter and a downspout. The system (also referred to as a gutter dredger) comprises a motion device (motor) and a cleaning device. When it is raining, rain water can power the system to cause reciprocating motions of the cleaning device that can result in de-clogging of a gutter and a downspout that have the system installed. A debris removal device may be positioned in the downspout to remove big debris before it moves into the motor. The gutter dredger can be used for automatically de-clogging a gutter and downspout whenever it is raining.
摘要:
Detector data representative of an intensity of light that impinges on a detector after being emitted from a light source and passing through a gas over a path length can be analyzed using a first analysis method to obtain a first calculation of an analyte concentration in the volume of gas and a second analysis method to obtain a second calculation of the analyte concentration. The second calculation can be promoted as the analyte concentration upon determining that the analyte concentration is out of a first target range for the first analysis method.
摘要:
The present invention relates to crystals of a type IB P-type ATPase having the space group P1 and methods for purification and growing said crystals. The invention also presents methods for identifying an inhibitor of a type IB P-type ATPase for example by determining binding interactions between an inhibitor and a set of binding interaction sites in said type IB P-type ATPase.
